the new chinese president heads to moscow for his first overseas trip as the country's leader with energy deals between two of the world's largest economies the focal point of discussion. panic and frustration in cyprus the citizens struggle to hold on to their cash and politicians race against time to avoid a default. emergency his main rebel group and some opposition activists claiming the block is being guided by islamist radicals.

international news and comment watching r.t. coming to life from moscow with me. now and panic is spreading through cyprus with the parliament set to vote on another plan to raise funds and no water to secure a vital e.u. i.m.f. bailout loan and avoid a painful default bank employees have attempted to storm the parliament building over possible job losses and speculation the country's banks won't reopen after being paralyzed for a week and as artists sell reports people are preparing for the worst. all of this panic this negativity started of course on the announcement over the weekend from brussels that in order to get a ten billion euro bailout package cyprus will have to cough up about five point eight billion in the suggestion to impose a tax on the cause it's now ninety one percent of cypriots according to a poll have been against. we've seen protests on the streets of people angry really at the e.u. the troika and specifically

a germany they feel of the country has been cornered into a position where they really have no choice but to take a very hard decision now here's what some of the cypriots feel right now towards europe. well the mood here in nicosia cyprus remains rather negative it seems that the people feel that they're receiving one bad news after another the latest being that the european central bank will only continue to provide liquidity to the country until monday and after that it will only continue to do so if there is an i.m.f. program in place this means if there really is a problem on the ground the cypriots going out to early in the morning trying to get as much cash as they could as some have told me that the limit on their cars and the amount that they could take for the change has been lowered we've also been speaking to some shopkeepers they're really having a problem be seen big losses in their business and it's been a headache for them since this started. my business is down over seventy percent in

just the last few days. and you really read that. and one of the direct effects of the financial predicament you can already feel on the ground here the size of it put up only cash no visa card that this gas station they really want to hold on to as much cash as they could as the banks will be closed until next week and really they're not confident that the banks will reopen when the govern. just to be safe you can see the size if you don't have cash you won't get what we need. to pay for our people working here. something we have to pay in cash so we. know as the political leaders along with the financial sector here try to figure out a way to maneuver the country out of this predicament that people are simply sitting tight trying to hold on against was much cash as they can because really

for them their main concern is how to get through these next few days when they've already experienced being in limbo for the past week reporting for nicosia cyprus. possible ways out of this limbo is what cypriot and e.u. officials continue to discuss in moscow so far no deal has been reached even with russia at the table for more on this let's cross live now to. alexey presumably the finance minister came here looking for a quick solution but it doesn't look like he's going to get one does it. well the fact that the european and cypriot officials are now in mosco clearly suggests that the russian capital still remains an epicenter of the attempts to rescue the cypriot economy the question is whether this will happen during the meeting between the prime minister meeting mediated and the european and cypriot officials must go on its behalf. it's quite clear whether most would be able to help here because the

cypriot finance minister has been saying that his visit to moscow is not about for another loan from russia but rather try to attract investment into banking sector and into a natural resources development. analysts are speculating whether most would be interested in that of for two reasons because there are not so many extraction fields available on cyprus and moreover if russia should involve itself in these projects this might cause some political wrangling because turkey partially owns those extraction fields and on chorale has already said that it will react to any decision by cyprus shouldn't allow russia to participate in the natural resources extraction of the island brussels on its part said that it will provide the bailout loan to nicosia but this will be only a partial solution for the rescue of the lines economy the rest of the money will have to find by itself moreover cyprus said that the deploys the tax the much

maligned to deposit tax is necessary a measure to have the bailout alone to need to see and this is definitely causing a huge controversy on the island moreover brussels said that it will not require the involvement of the russian capital to envoy to resolve the internal economic problems of the european union so the talks between the prime minister and the european officials are rather. it's hard to actually predict which way it will go we are hopeful that during the day after about one pm moscow time when the talks are due to start will be receiving some more information as we'll certainly deliver to our viewers as we get it. ok thank you very much i. have skied live from moscow well krystal's messes and then pay from the left forces party says this pressure which is forcing cyprus to turn to russia for help it was the mentality of the

troika. come again and again in every country in which they try this policies with these policies that are unfair and human. and that probably means the question is when are they going to stop and it seems that they will. accept. from the side of troika and so we have to seek for a solution. not with troika but in another direction and one direction that is now they are in front of us the swiss guard we are more cultured and can be a lot safer and more reliable thing to do than keep keep negotiating with troika chart chilled us nine months know that every day when it was she joined coming and going back and back and forth on the end maybe somewhere really out of taking control. gas and oil resources which is something that worries us

a lot this is what we all the people of typos at the moment come think of why. the behavior of the troika is the way he has been in the last nine months and exactly in the last week even even even. and it isn't just cypriots who are concerned by the e.u. and in particular berlin's fearne stance economist hari bain a member of the free voters party in germany says the refusal to negotiate stems from the german government's self interest. but don't forget that we are heading for elections in germany rescue packages that we have gone through in the past have been totally unpopular with the germans have taxpayer and going ahead now with a simple solution to what we've had in the past and you just cannot sell it to the german taxpayer i guess that's an issue as well also you don't you shouldn't forget that those negotiations go she ations with cyprus are very complicated every party

has to keep up its bargaining power and so we it's like a mystery you know and you have to be on guard you have to bluff and god knows what will happen and us germans we're not saying that we shouldn't help cyprus but the germans told that at the end of the dying day the money the loans the guarantees whatever you want to call it does not support the people in cyprus and since supporting the banks that supporting the bank owners that supporting wall street and supporting them with people and that's the whole issue here. catching the chinese wind in russia's economic sale that is what russian president vladimir putin says he's aiming to do during landmark talks with his chinese counterpart in moscow she's being painted that could russia his first trip abroad since assuming power early this month by sitting multibillion dollar deal does that say you are also hoping to bolster their common in the world's arena as nice now he explains. pushing two powers together

a common goal to shift global balance is forging a tie between russia and china that could soon be unbreakable for a new chinese leader his first stop moscow to something surely washington must notice but is brushing off no they don't take it seriously at their own peril russia and china fellow brics major trade partners and team players at the u.n. security council are there too often stand up against intervention and to gresham. we impact of nature back to tax and they don't want the instability that washington seeks in the middle east beijing and moscow want to do business china is booming and russia is right next door the potential for gas deals and pipelines are vast as soon as the two can agree on a price russia also sees china as a way to diversify its economy like helping tap untouched water sources in the east

and investing in the west now they could join forces on cooperation militarily that is the inevitable life in brazil of the type of us that asian pacific pivot that is is threatening china on one side and the nato increasing military encircled in the russian on the other side the more the us pushes its agenda in certain parts of the world the closer they push russia and china together that opens the door for growth and enormous economic ramifications the nations that make up the brics group may be divergent but experts now see they are much more than an acronym coined by a guy at goldman sachs they all agree on the fundamentals we want a multiple of world we want to have more say on never seem to have political and when the world's biggest country finally joins head on with potentially the world's largest economy it could send shock waves straight to the heart of today's global

order and this visit might be the start and he's now a r.t. moscow or prior to his visit to russia paying described moscow as china's main most important partner however c.c.t.v. correspondent chen way says the still opportunity for the two nations to bolster types. china and russia have already resolved its territorial disputes over the past a few decades and also has been taking care of each other's core interests i mean well the belarus will trade has been skyrocketing over the past few decades however having said that though there might be a lot of space for improvements and further promotion of the bilateral relations in terms of trade and economic ties for example some suggest that the goal of one hundred billion us dollars of bilateral trade by the year twenty fifteen can be reached earlier. and we will be having live reports on the russia china talks here

in moscow throughout the day so i do stay with us here in r.t. for plenty of reaction and analysis. well we'll be back shortly with more stories as ati's handed classified e-mails of the former u.s. secretary of state shedding light on the deadly assault that killed the u.s. ambassador and libya and last september's benghazi attack plus. the hunger strike in guantanamo bay enters its forty fifth day we take a look at why the u.s. hasn't closed the facility with some inmates held there with charge details in just a few minutes.

speak the language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.o.r.p. interviews intriguing story are you. trying. to find out more visit or a big. dog called. welcome back the hunger strike among guantanamo bay prisoners has ended its forty fifth day a point that could become critical for inmates health according to doctors rights groups claim more than one hundred detainees refusing food even mistreatment while the pentagon nineteen's the number is much lower the strike has brought the plight

of prisoners back into the headlines at least one former u.k. resident is being kept there without charge reports in the british government's response r.t. turned to the u.k. foreign office for that position and we can have a listen to the statement that we were saved back right now. the u.k. has long held indefinite detention without trial is unacceptable and we welcome president obama's continuing commitment to closing the detention facility at guantanamo bay and to maintain the sustainable and principled regime for the detainees. so quite an anodyne text read that sounds like it could be in some serious need of updating actually it refers to us president obama's continuing commitment to closing down the prison now the closure of guantanamo bay was actually one of us president obama's main campaign promises back in the two

thousand and eight presidential election it's something he's spoken about a lot it's a promise he's made repeatedly yet confident kade later and nothing has happened in fact nearly shutting down that's taken place recently is the closure of the government office that's charged with transferring the detainees and closing down the prison so just to recap in case that sounds in any way peculiar they've closed down the office that's meant to close down guantanamo bay and the british foreign office supports this continuing commitment to shutting down the facility shack i'm a has been. at guantanamo bay for over eleven years now and quite astonishingly this is a man who's never been charged with any wrongdoing he's never been put on trial he's been cleared for release twice yet he's still there the british government's efforts to negotiate his release have been few they've been feeble and most

importantly they've been completely and utterly fruitless so the red cross human rights watch amnesty international they've all expressed frustration that they haven't been allowed to visit detainees they condemned was been taking place at the facility for. we've got a decade now but at the same time a here in the u.k. has been a little more than a plant from the mainstream media both about shaq amma and about guantanamo bay in general so with this little awareness of the situation sacca atmosphere is very much i'm certain with terry cooper's a psychometrist and consultant to human rights watch explained some of the reasons why who believes the facility is still open i believe there is a large media component to this a publisher to be part and that is to to demonize a group of individuals as if the problems for citizens living in the united states

have to do with the presence of evil people among us and that image of evil people who are invading the country is terrorists who are live here as criminals and if we can only capture them and put them in an extremely harsh conditions of confinement some time somehow our life will be better and it will actually realize the american dream this is a delusional set of beliefs but i believe that's why the harsh conditions are imposed on people because in fact there is no gain in terms of either security or intelligence from doing this kind of abusive treatment of prisoners. mint is not in the u.s. had to come to see how one inmate was restrained and then pepper sprayed before being left unattended at the jail in maine there's a link to the footage on our website no site effie. fancy earning

yourself ten million dollars that's how much the us is willing to pay. on two of its citizens that recently made it to the top of the f.b.i.'s most wanted list having fled somalia also on our website you will find having a majority of british doctors admit to prescribe an placebos to their patients r.t. dot com to find out more. at least forty two people including a top sunni loyalist cleric have been killed in

a suicide bomb attack in central damascus the blast ripped through a mosque while it was packed with worshippers who had gathered for evening prayers more than eighty people were injured in the explosion which authorities suspect targeted the cleric mohammad al bootsy a staunch supporter of president bashar al assad this is the first time since the start of the uprising that there's been a suicide attack in a mosque reporter. has the tabs. the most shocking news and most details that after the bomb backpack did what they discovered another bomb which is the door of the mosque and. happily happy with that it wasn't exploded. they managed to or dissolve it it's inside the mosque of mr the medina the body which is one of the most important schooled in syria and one of the most important one in the islamic word he is the one who was targeted mainly because. he was support he was considered a supporter of the. of the city and got. it meant made some strong speeches every

friday to convince people to join the army and the fight for their country and he was he was under a lot of threats around that time of the and said at last in syria but he insisted his and his position i did not change into becoming one of this one of the people who work with us and i would add this. meanwhile cracks are appearing in the anti assad syrian national coalition after the election of a new prime minister to govern rebel held areas the election of u.s. citizen has an hito lead twelve members of the body to resign from the umbrella opposition group. took part in the anti assad movement says the coalition is being guided by islamist radicals. the coalition went too far forming a monochrome government which we can characterize as extremist the reason behind this is the mechanisms that we used in the selection of

a head of government. under the ground whose coalition wasn't elected it was the point and radicals make up the majority that does not match the reality of syrian society if this coalition was the result of free and fair elections then we would have accepted the results of the vote should not deprive syrian minorities of the right to produce a bit in political life as one should not to bribe the syrian liberal political groups have the rights at this stage of rebuilding a home where the coalition should not be about revolutionary power it should be about a legitimate government and the german government should represent the opinions and interests of the whole syrian nation our position is balanced and we see that what we are seeing now is wrong. just a few minutes we'll take a look back at president obama's visit to israel and palestine to see what if anything was achieved.
